Taya?

[chloejessmeg]

Really love this name for a girl. What does everybody else think?

have you made it up?

Tara? Maya?

No I didn't make it up!

Never heard of Maya. Don't like Tara

Hiya Taya

Never heard of it. Prefer Maya and Tara ha ha!

Tanya? Leah? Leia?

where did you hear Taya?

is it pronounced Tay-er or Tai-er?
Acutally I don't like it either way!
It doesn't pass the playground test AT ALL

My ds (age 7) has a Taya in his class, I quite like it.

What on earth is the 'Playground test?'

Don't like it. Sounds made up.

Is it an alternative version of Tea (as in Tea Leoni)? I like the way it sounds but not sure about the spelling - but then Tea is open to teasing...

I think the girl I know spells her name TIEA

Sorry that's supposed to be TEIA

the playground test is how a name sounds when screeched across the playground.

anything sounds bad screeched across a playground IMO...
[resolves to screech less]

Um, not sure about it. It sounds made up and I would instantly (and unfairly) judge you as one of those mums desperate to be different.

Now Thea I love.

Oh, I've never thought of it in terms of the playground, possibly the park or supermarket.

Sounds like a silly made up name but also sounds, dare I say it, a bit common too. Is that possible?

I misread it as Tazer (but I only had about 3 hours sleep last night). Is it short for something?

Knew a Teah back in the 70s. Pronounced Tay-er, which is how I'd pronounce Taya. It's short and simple. If you love it, go for it.

Sounds a bit chavvy, sorry! Maya is lovely though.

I dont like Teya / Taya ( i dont like Freya either ?! lol)

Maya / Maia is nicer, as its a softer sound than the hard T

i love Thea (as in Thee - ah but this can also be pronounced like Tay - ah too!)

what about Talia ? Tiana ?

I know a Teah (pronounces tay-ah). Known her for a couple of years, only last week found out the spelling.

I think her family's Irish - is it an Irish name at all?

Looks like it would be pronounced Tyre or Tie A as in, tie a knot in it. Don't like it at all.

I like it, know 2, both of foreign origin, Spanish and dutch. One spells it Teija.
